Welcome

I’m Rick, a now very very late thirty something bearded former bookseller originally from London now living in Loughborough with Wife – fellow blogger & bookworm Mel, Daughter Isobelle, ball python Medusa & cat Kipper. I love all things book & beard related & when I am not reading or blogging them I am usually listening to podcasts, reviewing music or making shows for Mayhem Radio. I have tattoos & piercings and generally when I am asked how many I always miscount. I have a diverse taste in music & can go from Roxette to Cradle of Filth without any hesitation.
I really like headphones, hair wax, and beard products I watch awful movies & have a ridiculous penchant for ice-cream, popcorn, cheese & loose leaf tea & pizza
